Chapter 75 The Past of the Border City

"Are you threatening me?" Qing Jiao glanced at the fierce halberd, and didn't care about picking up a large piece of lamb's belly to fill the mouth and chewing foam, "Tell me this in my territory, who do you think will be the last person who can't get out?"

Eternal Night seems to be recounting a matter of course: "You can't beat me." ”

Qingjiao wanted to refute, but when he opened his mouth, he thought of something that happened before that made him very depressed, so he poured a big mouthful of hot oil soup angrily, and said angrily: "I still have my brother." ”

Eternal Night pressed the halberd with one hand, picked up a few slices of green vegetables in the other hand and shook them in the pot, "Even if your brothers kill me, they will die a terrible death." ”

Green Pepper's forehead was bruised, obviously Yongye's words touched his scales, he stared at Yongye's purple eyes, trying to read more emotions from them, but Yongye's eyes were like deep pools of waves, and staring for a long time was in vain.

The two looked at each other for a long time, Qingjiao retracted his gaze discouragedly, waved his hand and said: "I'm afraid of you, just try me, these cowards under me don't have the courage or ability to do such a big thing." ”

Eternal Night lowered his head and ate the greens, then grabbed the halberd and leaned on the corner of the table, "This answer is not bad. ”

Qingjiao smiled bitterly: "I don't understand what you mean, to put it bluntly." ”

Eternal Night still eats the food by herself, and says, "There are some things that can't be told to you, but you have gotten rid of suspicion." ”

"There are so many rules. "Qingjiao doesn't plan to dwell on this issue too much, "It's unlikely to tell you all the abilities of the five commanders, you tell me a range of suspicions first, and I can tell you the abilities of one or two people." ”

"The three, four, six, seven, and two of you were attacked, and except for the people of your team who were saved by me, the other four teams each died one person. ”

Qingjiao pondered for a moment and asked, "In other words, only five of the five thousand-man teams in the local area have not been attacked?"

Yongye nodded and said: "The other party's plan is very meticulous, the first chosen dead soldier is an ordinary person who has never practiced, so when he kills someone, he will not have vitality fluctuations to be perceived by other cultivators, and secondly, there are also five thousand teams, four of the local ones have been attacked, and only one of the five foreign ones has been perfunctory and slaughtered, such a killing method seems to be chaotic, but after a long time, people will always see the clues, it should be someone deliberately led the contradiction to the local defenders and foreign garrisons, and wanted us to mess up." ”

Qingjiao said hatefully: "The intentions are sinister. ”

Yongye poured himself a full glass of water and drank it, suppressing the hotness on the tip of his tongue, "Judging from the selection methods of our foreign five thousand teams, we can rule out the suspicion of internal ghosts, so there are four goals now, you start with the commander of the fifth team." ”

"The commander of the fifth team ......" Qingjiao glanced at Yongye deeply, "I have worked with him for many years, but I really don't know much about him, I can only say that he is a very strange person. ”

Yongye took out a small dish from under the table, mixed some coriander and garlic paste with sesame oil, dipped a lamb belly and ate it, and said, "It's a little interesting, but it's more specific." ”

"Few people know his real name, everyone calls him an old dog, when you first came, General Ming Zhe presided over the regular meeting of the commanders, you should have an impression of him, that person is in his twilight years, very withdrawn old man. ”

Yongye didn't speak, and motioned for Green Pepper to continue.

"The old dog is a veteran who crawled out of the pile of dead people on the Cangyang battlefield, you must know that most of the soldiers who survived that war soared to the top of the war, and they were added to the rank of knight in various states, and it is very rare to be sent to a poor place like Shayang after fighting like an old dog. ”

"What does that mean?"

It shows that he did some inconclusive things in the war, which did not violate the law of sunset and could not be dealt with according to military law, but they were contrary to human ethics and had an extremely bad impact on the morale of the army. ”

"Don't beat around the bush, get straight to the point. ”

"I heard that he was a fool before joining the army, and he had been dealing with corpses for a long time, and he actually entered the Tao with corpses, and when he was conscripted to the battlefield and saw corpses all over the field, he was even more like a fish in water, and his cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, and he broke through the Ming Dao realm in a few years. Every time Qingjiao thinks of this, he sighs with emotion about the world, which is really strange.

"Entering the Tao with a corpse?" "Yongye looked at the white mutton in the pot, and suddenly lost his appetite, "What is the way to enter the Tao?"

Qingjiao knew that Yongye had lost his appetite, and he secretly took back a city, and he didn't break it, picking up a toothpick and picking at his still white teeth unhurriedly: "The old dog's awakening ability is called 'saprophytes', and he can suppress his injuries and recover his strength by eating corpses." Due to the long-term consumption of carrion, his blood and minions are highly poisonous, and once he is injured, the corpse will be poisoned into his body, and he will almost definitely die. ”

"Minions?" Eternal Night repeated the two words that should not be used to describe people, figuring out what they meant.

"That's right, minions. Qingjiao echoed: "The old dog is strong in flesh, and his attack method is no different from that of a jackal, which is why everyone calls him an old dog." ”

"Presumably, he must not just eat the corpses of his enemies on the battlefield, so he has a bad reputation and attracts disgust. After all, it is not a glorious thing to let a comrade-in-arms die without a corpse. Yongye calmly asked, "It's just that the old dog has been fighting in Cangyang for so many years, what is the reason for him to become an inner ghost in the Great Enlightenment Realm?"

Qingjiao shook his head: "Who knows, maybe he feels that he has done nothing wrong, and he feels unfair because of the treatment he received, so he wants to choose another master." It's a pity, I think that when the old general Fujinomiya was still there, he still argued with the military department for a long time because of the old dog's matter, but he didn't expect that time had passed, and both of them ended up like this. ”

"Fujinomiya?" Eternal Night felt like he was about to grasp the crux of the matter, "They know?"

"You're not talking nonsense, these hundreds of miles of border passes were not all under the jurisdiction of the old general of Fuji Palace, maybe they were both Cangyang Paoze, and there was some friendship, so I stood up and said a few words of justice for him, I think this matter is a righteous person, you think too much. Qingjiao was noncommittal, thinking that the eternal night was suspicious.

Eternal Night has always been stubborn in dealing with people, so he simply broke the sand pot and asked, "Who else in your five thousand-person teams has ever crossed paths with Fujimiya?"

Qingjiao smiled bitterly: "If you want to say that, you can't check, more or less have intersected, General Fujinomiya can be regarded as half of the Ye family's guest before he left, the Ye family's brother in Apocalypse City, do you know how many people want to climb his relationship with the Ye family." ”

Qingjiao's eyes lit up, but when he saw that Yongye had no reaction, he slapped his thigh helplessly, and then said: "Yes, I told you that this is tantamount to saying in vain, the eldest son of the Ye family is now about to become a brother with you, of course you can't understand the difficulties of low-level people like us who want to get ahead." ”

Yongye's thoughts were not taken by Qingjiao's words to the wealthy family in the capital far away in the sky, he just talked about the matter: "Speaking of the matter of the vine palace, is there anyone who has a particularly close relationship with him." ”

"I used to give a head to the old dog, and then the commander of the third team, Aoi, is a talent that General Fujinomiya values very much, if it weren't for the white bamboo thing, it is estimated that Aoi will be transferred away in a short time. Qingjiao thought of the old general who had outstanding military achievements and acted in a low-key manner by his own son's defection to a foreign land, and the hero of the first generation ended up like this, and sighed.

Yongye knew that Fujimiya had a good reputation before the accident, and even if he defected, there were still people who fought for him, but one thing is the same thing, and no one can be sure that this old general who entered the Tao with hatred is not involved in this matter.

"Aoi's abilities. Eternal Night continued.

Qingjiao was quite embarrassed: "I can only tell you one more person's ability, you can think of who to ask." ”

"Aoi. ”

Qingjiao took a long breath, and a triumphant smile appeared on his face: "The reason why Aoi was favored by General Fujinomiya is very simple, in other words, even if he is not General Fujinomiya, he will be reused by any person, this person is quite sophisticated, thoughtful, and powerful, about his ability, there is a gossip for your reference." ”

Say. ”

Legend has it that Aoi had no talent for cultivation when she was young, just an ordinary teenager, but she was very obsessed with puppets and the like, and she played with the toys she made in front of her house every day. There was a time when a fat man lived in the opposite door of his house, and the fat man didn't do anything except eat and sleep all day, so he smiled and leaned on the door frame to watch Aoi upside down, neither bothering Aoi, nor feeling bored and bored, so that after half a month, one day Aoi's father and mother came back from the town to catch up with the market, and brought him two strings of sugar gourds, and he saw that the fat man was pitiful, so he divided a string of fat people, and the fat man was very happy, and since then he has been playing with Aoi and teaching him to make a lot of delicate toys. Half a month later, the fat man left the village, and people knew that the fat man was a great figure in the Fallen God family, and Aoi himself was intelligent, and he was fortunate enough to be assigned by him, so he naturally entered the Tao as a puppet and became a cultivator. Because his father was born as a carpenter, and his mother was a farmer at home, and his family was poor, he chose to join the army, which was the most secure and lucrative, and he was close to his own family. ”

"One plays with puppets or the other eats the dead, which do you think is more suspicious?"

Qingjiao pouted, "In my conscience, I don't think it's suspicious, our twilight soldiers disdain to do this kind of pickled thing, but since you are sure that there is an internal ghost, then I estimate that the old dog is more like it." ”

"I will focus on the whereabouts of the old dog in the next few days, and Ming Zhe means that we should not start too early for the time being. Yongye glanced at half of the pot of haggis that was still boiling, and just wanted to get some more food from the pot, but the green pepper grabbed a handful of emerald mint out of nowhere and threw it into the soup.

In an instant, the whole teahouse was filled with spicy and cool flavors.

"What's the matter, boss, we can't eat the weird smell in this room. The soldiers around him were crying bitterly.

Green Pepper seemed to be accustomed to it, and smiled at the eternal night: "Add some mint to defeat the fire." ”

"I don't eat it. ”

Yongye's face turned dark, he put down his chopsticks and sorted out his armor, got up and pushed the door, and his figure mixed with the wind and snow gradually disappeared into the white border city.

"See you tomorrow!" Qing Jiao watched Eternal Night leave, he touched his round head, which was a little prickly, and felt that he had won a big battle today.
